Rev up your party engines, people.

That’s what these New Paper New Face girls will be doing at this year’s Formula 1 SingTel Singapore Grand Prix.

The girls – students Anais Pei, Tessa Hogan and Irina Tan – said they are particularly interested in renowned DJs and international music superstars that will be here for This month’s F1 festivities.

Anais and Irina picked Attica as the most likely place they’d be spotted at because the music appealed to them most.

Anais, a 20-year-old freshman at the Nanyang Technological University, told The New Paper: “This DJ Kay-Z sounds interesting as he’s worked with Rihanna, and I like Rihanna’s music.”

The trio missed out on last year’s festivities as they were mugging for exams.

Tessa, an 18-year-old Temasek Polytechnic student, preferred Avalon at Large Presents GO! because “I love Flo Rida and I’m sure many out there do (too)”.

She added: “The loud and hyped-up beats with amazing bands will make the party a blast for all.”

Judging from the long list of events, all said party organisers have done a good job so far.

Irina, a 18-year-old Ngee Ann Polytechnic student, said revellers are spoilt for choice.

“Perhaps clubs can include special features like bubble blowers. I went to a club which was filled with foam bubbles that were released from the top at a certain time with a huge fan blowing. It was so nice and the crowd got really excited.”

For cash-strapped students, Anais suggested that clubs offer student discounts.

Now that The New Paper New Face girls have taken their picks, what’s yours this September?
